Pokemon: Reborn Rich Alternate Earth

Chapter 884: Chapter 1101: Five Hundred Years

Julian had promised James before that he wouldn't make too big of a commotion, and he really didn't think the commotion he made was that big.

He had only killed over thirty thousand people plus an elite squad.

Such an embarrassing matter—any other country would be trying to hide it, but the Birmanian government went ahead and publicly announced it, complete with video.

The footage captured of the Twin Dragons was so clear that Julian couldn't even come up with an excuse.

"Hubert, you and you mother can follow Ella—she'll make arrangements for you," Julian said to the pair.

These words sounded a bit familiar to Lilligant, as that was exactly what Julian had said to it back then.

But Ella was indeed quite impressive. Thinking about the dances she had shown it these past few days, Lilligant felt that its horizons had been broadened—there were so many types of dance forms.

And Ella had also taken it to some art exhibitions, sparking a second interest in Lilligant beyond dance.

So Lilligant held quite a favorable impression of Ella.

Julian bid farewell to the three and soon arrived at the entrance of James' office. The two guards at the door immediately saluted him.

Julian nodded, then knocked on the door and, without waiting for James to speak, he opened the door and walked in.

"Grand-uncle, is there something you wanted to see me about?"

Julian was feigning ignorance—if the other party didn't bring it up, he would just play dumb.

James looked at this descendant, whom he had praised as the rare prodigy of the Walker family, with a headache. Throughout the history of the Walkers, even all of human history, no one had achieved what he had at his age—not even close.

Julian's excellence was absolutely unprecedented.

But this brat, who filled him with pride, also had a temperament that gave him a headache.

Seeing James stare at him without blinking, Julian couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy inside.

Why wasn't he saying anything? Did he stir up something bigger this time?

But it was just a fight with Birmania.

Or maybe there was something he didn't know about?

Julian thought inwardly, letting his imagination run wild.

Then, with some resignation, he said, "Grand-uncle, I know I was wrong."

"Wrong about what?" James asked reflexively.

Julian: 'Why does this sound like a girlfriend interrogating her boyfriend?'

Although he found the way James phrased it a bit odd, Julian still replied, "Is it about the Birmanian situation?"

"Wrong."

Unexpectedly, James simply shook his head.

This left Julian confused. If it wasn't that, then what could it be? He hadn't done anything bigger than that.

Julian thought for a moment, certain he hadn't done anything more significant than the Birmanian incident, but then a possibility occurred to him.

Looking uncertainly at James, he ventured, "Grand-uncle… you're not getting senile with age, are you?"

After saying this, Julian felt it didn't quite fit and muttered quietly, "The treasures I gave you before should have been effective against this kind of thing…"

Alzheimer's disease—even now, there was no real cure, only prevention through certain treasures.

Julian had paid special attention to James in this regard and had given him quite a few such treasures.

But now it seemed they hadn't worked at all.

James truly appeared to be suffering from dementia, as Julian genuinely couldn't think of anything he had done recently that was bigger than the Birmanian incident.

"Stop talking nonsense, you brat!"

James nearly choked on his anger, pointing at Julian and cursing directly.

"What I mean is, have you considered carrying on the Walker family line?"

"Before, you could say you were too young, but now you're twenty-six—not young anymore."

Julian: 'So it's about urging me to get married.'

Unconcerned, Julian replied, "Grand-uncle, I can live at least five hundred years now. At twenty-six, I haven't even reached the first fraction of that."

With various life-extending items and Ultimate treasures, Julian's lifespan had already exceeded five hundred years. Though it couldn't compare to Pokémon, in human society, it was absolutely astonishing.

After saying that, he noticed James's gaze toward him seemed different.

Why was there such a strong surge of excitement and agitation in his aura?

"Boy, are you telling the truth? Don't try to fool this old man," James said, staring intently at Julian.

Julian nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you about this?"

"Besides, five hundred years is just the start. My goal is to outlive Gengar and make it the short-lived one," Julian added with a grin.

"Gen…"

From the shadows came Gengar's displeased sound.

'What do you mean, short-lived—how unlucky. I'm a Ghost type, and now that I've even broken through to the Champion tier, I may not live as long as the heavens, but at least ten thousand years is no problem.'

'You want to outlive me? Even Blastoise isn't better at that than I am.'

'Just wait, I'll be the one licking your tombstone in the end.'

"Good lad, truly a good lad!"

James was so excited he could barely contain himself. He stood up from his chair, walked over to Julian, and placed both hands on his shoulders.

"Since you can live that long, then get to work—make babies, lots of them!"

"That girl from the Aldridge family, that girl from the Eastbrook family, even that actress!"

"You just focus on building your harem. I'll find even more women for you. If you fancy someone, I'll have your grandfather bring her here!"

Seeing him acting like a bandit chieftain, even talking about harems, Julian quickly shouted, "Calm down, calm down, Grand-uncle! Please calm down!"

"Calm down my foot!"

"Do you know what it means that you can live five hundred years?"

"What?"

Julian asked blankly.

"It means our Walker family can maintain its peak glory for five hundred years. And in those five hundred years, we can plant our family's banner all over this planet!"

Great clans were not unchanging. Most families declined because their strongest member died or passed away naturally, or because no other strong successor appeared, or due to suppression and targeting by other families, and so on.

Basically, most could not last a hundred years.

That was to say, for the vast majority of powerful families, the cycle of replacement was a century.

Within a hundred years old families fell and new families rose.

Families that lasted beyond a hundred years without weakening were basically Champion families—top-tier clans.

Families like the Walkers, Hearths, and Drakes were some typical examples.

But even these families had gone through periods of generational gaps and sharp decline in strength.

The Walker family especially, due to having too few members, had almost always been single-heir each generation in recent years—one mistake and the line might end.

That was why previous heads of the Walker family, only after having offspring—and male offspring at that—would venture into dangerous Forbidden Zones and Secret Realms.

They feared that if they died carelessly without leaving an heir, causing the Walker line to end, they would surely be cursed by generations of Walker ancestors after death.
